Emma is almost thirty years old. Her eyes are sightless, but still she thinks she can see all too clearly: she wants to be a mother. She hankers after a child obsessively. After discovering that her boyfriend isn’t going to be able to make her pregnant, she breaks off with him, and sets out in search of the perfect sperm cell. Without falling in love, without letting any feelings get in the way. It sounds easy enough, but it won’t take Emma long to discover that it is not just her eyes which are blind.
